Catie - Belfast tutor






Information About Catie:


Personal Description:

I have always had a great love of learning and then passing on everything I have learned to others, one of the reasons I will be enrolling into a PGCE course next year.I have a genuine love of my subject which makes it easier for me to teach it as I can usually convince others that it isn't a dead subject and is actually highly important and central to current events. I graduated from QUB with a B.A in history July 08, I believe because I am closer to their age I find it easy to build a good relationship with those I am tutoring. History is my especial interest, both in modern and ancient periods and I spend much of my free time reading to increase my background knowledge of various periods of History, I am also currently studying for my fifth A-Level, in Geography. I prefer to tutor from my own home, but am more than willing to tutor online or visit the tutee's own home.



Teaching Experience:

For the past few years I have been tutoring friends of the family, and last year I tutored several 1st year university students. I have volunteered at both primary and secondary levels as a classroom assistant. I also worked at Larne Museum voluntarily.



Tutoring Approach:

I believe in building a less rigid relationship with my pupils in order for them to feel more relaxed with me which I think is central to an effective learning environment. I will cover class assignments, further reading perhaps not covered in class, practice exam questions to which I will go over the answer in detail with the student. The pupil will be welcome to email during the week to ask for help or to answer any questions.
